Paris Olympics 2024: We Meet With the IOC/Full Games Wrap

08/14/2024 65 min 1 sec

WE ARE ALIVE! After spending 15 business days in the skies, the final wrap of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games is here. We cover off the totally normal closing ceremony, before delivering our recap of our much anticipated meeting with the IOC. In a wonderful case of things coming full circle, the final edition of Apocalympics Now ends exactly where it started - in the poo-infested tip that is the Seine. It also covers some incredibly arrogant decisions by the LA 2028 organisers. As the ridiculously hot Paris sun sets on the games, we take a look at the final minnow medal tally to crown our Major Minnow of these Olympics, which feature some bold mover on the last day of competition. And speaking of bold, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have our Riggustani Supreme Leader, Carrera Eyewear, along for the ride this games. Remember to access your discounted pair of sunnies at au.carreraworld.com/discount/medallica We now look towards Milano Cortina 2026 in 18 months time. We will be dropping content until then so make sure to stay up to date with the journey here and at www.gusandrig.biz Till then, A River Derr Chee

08/10/2024 43 min 1 sec

HOPE YOU’RE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF YOUR STORY AND HAVE GOT A DRIVE AHEAD OF YOU BECAUSE HERE’S A BLOCKBUSTER WRAP OF DAYS 12 AND 13 We have been at the front of a now very full Teboggan as we ride Letsile Tebogo’s 200m gold medal for Botswana and we don’t wanna get off. The Refugee Team also gets off the mark in a huge way, with a bold display that Carrera Eyewear would be proud of. Apocalympics Now covers a breaking performance that will live in infamy, while we go over the fact that we have a lot in common with the bronze medals, as we too are falling apart. While there are some disappointments in Minnow Watch, we are buoyed by the possibility that there may be one more golden duck broken before the games end, courtesy of one Central Asian boxer. It’s crunch time in the Minnow Medals, which will be coming down to the absolute wire.

08/07/2024 31 min 46 sec

IT’S DAY 11, SO GET IN THE CAR, WE’RE DRIVING OUR STORY TO CRÉMEVILLE We welcome our newest Riggustani Public Servant before launching how our bid for Riggustan 2036: It’s Liechtenstein-time is looking ahead of our meeting with the IOC. Apocalympics Now brings a cautionary tale from the Elephant’s Graveyard that is the 9th arrondisement, and a run-in with Big Cheese. Minnow Watch is as bloated as Rig after a fistful of crémes, so we touch on all the minnows that are still a chance to grab medals. And finally, we turn to the Minnow Medal Tally, which is coming right down to the wire in the final days of competition, with an unfamiliar presence threatening the old guard for minnow supremacy.

IT’S DAY DISS AND RIG IS BREATHING LIKE A PUG THAT’S WALKED FIFTY METRES It was a huge day of action, but mostly off the field/track/bouncy floor. Apocalympics Now covers an entire country spitting the dummy and threatening to boycott, while a noble French company offers to help out the most popular pole vaulter and pole owner in the world. We also cover the underdogs bringing home some decidedly impressive yet ‘not gold’ medals as things heat up at the top of the Minnow Medal Tally. It’s got liquefied medals, ice cream for breakfast and more, and it’s hot and ready like a Parisian night with no air con.

IT’S CHAMPAGNE FOR US, REAL PAIN FOR THE ATHLETES IN THE VILLAGE With guts full of champagne and espresso martinis, we are back with a wrap of Day Nerf of the Olympics. We cover off the most undeserved invitation we have received to date to a brand party, while simultaneously laughing at the fact that we are living better than the athletes in the village. Apocalympics Now is back with stories of the most bizarre list of “perks” that a Filipino gold medallist can expect on his return home, as well as apparently the best sleeping arrangement on offer at the village. Minnow Watch sees a feature athlete advance and our favourite band narrowly missed out.

ALL THEY DO IS LITERALLY WIN! Dominica and Saint Lucia get off the mark in a huge way, claiming their first ever medals, which are gold, and we are absolutely on fire for it. Cape Verde also joins them in breaking the duck with a bronze in boxing for their first ever medal. Apocalympics Now sees us revisit our Stade de France trauma and the worst power tripping by a security guard since Rig’s 21st in the mid 2000s. We finish with Minnow Watch, which looks back on a fallen Albanian steeplechaser and turns toward a hurdler from the British Virgin Islands.

CALL US BEURRE GRYLLS BECAUSE WE ARE SURVIVING PURELY ON BUTTER ON DAY 6 OF THE GAMES France’s bizarre idiosyncrasies have reached boiling point for us. If no air conditioning wasn’t enough, turns out they’ve got the world’s dumbest recycling scheme going at the Stade de France and are obsessed with showing us fencing against our will. We persevere however, because we’re battlers who don’t sweat the small stuff but sweat literally every other thing and every other time because god it’s hot and humid here. Apocalympics Now covers the IOC’s easiest missed layup in the Women’s 100m that could be solved with an extra pair of socks, while the mystery of the little boxes that athletes on the dais receive is solved. We finish up with Minnow Watch, where a little known swimmer from the Cayman Islands has a chance to bring his first ever medal home, and we assume receive some sort of exorbitant tax-free prize.

07/31/2024 43 min 35 sec

GUATEMALA GUAT-A-GOLD-A! We are absolutely up and about for Guatemala’s first ever Olympic Gold courtesy of Adriana Ruano in the Women’s Trap. We discuss hers and Guatemala’s rise to the top, and their subsequent fall from the Minnow Medals. On the Apocalympics front, the Triathlon from Hell went ahead as the IOC confirmed that they do in fact hate athletes, and we are suitably and hilariously disgusted. We also go through all the incentives that countries are offering, from hot milk to housing. We keep tabs on one of our feature athletes, Bosnian butterflyer Lana Pudar, and welcome a new and welcome addition to the Minnow Medal Top 5.

BONSOIR FROM THE PUB STADIUM WITH NO BEER! We’re sober as judges due to a bizarrely archaic rule in Paris that means you can’t have a coldie and support your country. And while that’s annoying for us, it’s doubly annoying for the Aussie women competing in the Rugby 7s. We rip into this terrible piece of public policy as we melt into our chairs in the French heat and endure the doubly French refusal to provide air conditioning anywhere. The list of terrible experiences continue in Apocalympics Now, with the most insane sponsor agreement in existence and a toxic river system we wouldn’t trust fish to swim in, let alone humans. Minnow Watch is marred by IOC corruption but is leveled out by some great news out of Central America. All that and more in today’s ep. Wrap your listening gear around it, and once you've had your daily minnow fill, dive in to grab yourself a pair of Carrera glasses with a 35% discount at au.carreraworld.com/discount/Medallica and visit www.gusandrig.biz to consider becoming a citizen of The People's Republic of Riggustan and supporting our bid to host the 2036 Olympics in Riggustan.

Another dé, another euro at these Olympic Games, and we are happy to report that the wheels are hilariously starting to come off. And thankfully we’ve packed the craziness, pettiness and stubbornness of it all into a chockers Apocalympics Now.

BONJOUR MES AMIS! It’s a bumper first installment of Medallica: Minnows Vs The World: Pavement to Paris. We take a look at our feature athletes for these games, who are their country’s only hope a la Obi Wan Kenobi, as well as unveiling our grand plans for hosting the 2036 Olympics in our own backyard. Literally a backyard. For now anyway. We’re looking at extensions to hold equestrian events etc. It doesn’t matter. We’re working out the details via an online application to host the games (which isn’t a joke by the way) and that’s what we’re focused on. Well, that and preparing the world’s best PowerPoint presentation for the IOC when we meet with them on August 10. And you’re one play button away from all of it. Get around it.

As always, we take a look at the Minnow Medal Tally and also write the audio obituary of the badminton artist/former feature athlete LZJ. It’s all party in the back, as we sink the boot into American fans, explore that good old fashioned blatant racism, and how the Japanese are incapable of creating a functional item without it also being super cutesy.

We are releasing this special presentation to you to let you know where we’ve been, what we’ve been doing and what we have planned for the Tokyo 2020+1 Olympics. We hope that you laugh, but more importantly, we hope that you badger the powers that be in a company that you either work for and/or own, to get right behind us in terms of sponsorship of our shows, various content and media appearances. There’s a whole bunch of options available but there’s only one underdog like you in your business and/or industry that can help out the underdogs that be us. Have a listen, dust off your cat paws, head to gusandrig.biz and help if you can. Let’s get dot bizzy.

THE END IS NIGH! We are one game away from crowning the football champions of the world and we could not be more stoked that a minnow is in it. We cover the run up to the much anticipated Croatia v France fixture, and also the Belgium v France encounter which no one is looking forward to, both teams included. We also lift the veil and tell Crackle the Clairvoyant about her second career she has no knowledge of. It's a ripper and a must-listen heading into the big dance. Get around it!

WE'RE AT THE POINTY END NOW! People are realising the end is nigh for the 2018 World Cup, which is why they're jumping through glass bus shelters, drugging and robbing people blind, and fining the bejesus out of people for wearing different socks. We cover all that and make a visit to our now beleaguered resident psychic who has shat the bed in the quarter finals. Only a few shows left so make an effort to get around the latest episode of Medallica on your way into/from that job you are indifferent about!

We're back from the relative dead to bring you everything crazy from the Round of 16. It's a bumper show chocked full of crazy fan actions, drizzled with unexpected minnow success and covered in rich, smooth quarter-final previews. Our resident psychic also tackles her biggest test yet in a make-or-break, four prediction premonition. It's a cracking show so settle in and take stock!

WELL THAT WAS JUST F'D. Australia bomb out of the World Cup in 'meh' fashion. We cover the ins and outs of the game, and by that we mean a bunch of things that aren't really football related. We then turn our eyes to the remaining minnows in contention for the Round of 16 as well as pay a visit to our favourite unknowing football psychic. Hack off a slice of this delicious 30 min cast at work or on subpar public transport.
